The saying "The mind is not vessel to befilled, but a fire to be kindled" means a lotto the present situation ofeducation. Students should not be forcedto acquire knowledge as filling somethinginto an empty vessel.

Education should be like a fire that is lit upon something that grows eventually to sustain. It is totally different that when a student is forced to acquire knowledge rather than tempted toacquire knowledge by his own interest andcuriosity.
